One of my favorite
Japanese PLAY Promos 30/32
I think itās an incredible set and definitely a fun one worth going after
i assume you are referring to the 2023 collection
if youād like to send me a folder with the images, i can update them.
Whereās the option "The set is awesome, but I donāt consider it as āThe greatest Promo set of all timeā??? ā¦
Any of the options represents my case ā¦
- Iāve to admit that Play! Promos are amazing ⦠but, personally I prefer T Promos
- For the reason previously mentioned, I canāt choose the second alternative (related to Vending Machine Series)
- I donāt consider ex era as bad and Play! Promos as mid ā¦
- āToo commonā is not the phrase I would use to describe Play! Promos
- I find Play! Promos more interesting than WoTC Promos ⦠(with this Iām not saying WoTC is bad ⦠They have interesting cards as well)
the poll was rigged
there are too many others to mention. T promos, tropical mega battle, (other e reader era promo groupings like Web), old corocoro promos, old fan club, daisuki club, tropical beaches throughout the years, champions festivals throughout the years, and iām sure there are other notable groupings of promos that could have been mentioned and are probably someoneās favorite.
Define āgreatestā first.
youāre mistaking e4 for google
Other peopleās āgreatestā is not mine.
updated some of the pics to help the gallery look less cursed thanks to @expedition
Definitely a thoughtful release! The Mew EX is my personal favorite. It reminds me of Mew in Pokemon Snap!
Also I remember not buying a full set, with all the gold stars, for around $1700.
I donāt collect this set, but obviously am a (PokĆ©mon card) fan of one of the cards in particularā¦
Too late for my personal interests as a set (do the unnumbered old backs count?), but my Komiya collection meant I stopped here on the journey.
Did that include Umbreon and Espeon?!
Yes! Now I canāt remember if it was $1700 or $2300. Either way it was an insanely cheap price.
Holy moly!!
Crazy how things have changed. Do you recall what year that was?
It was actually an ebay auction I won back in 2011 and then spoke to the seller privately, but I canāt see any of the card details since the auction expired.
Anyway while digging I found this purchase from 2008 for a sealed Mew EX! I still have that card in a binder:
insane
Is it in a binder bc it had an indent
Nah grading was much of a thing back then, especially players promos. But itās been in a binder for 15 years so the plastic wrap might have made an indent.
I love it, as itās a great balance of bling, uniqueness, and availability. I also have nostalgia, as itās the first JP promo set that I stumbled upon and wanted badly.
